Each player's fielding record shall include:

• A. The times he put out a batter or runner, the times he assisted a teammate in putting out a runner, and the number of errors he committed.
• B. When he steps on the field in a defensive position.
• C. When he is substituted for while on defense.
• D. When he put out a batter-runner.

Answer: (A)

Fielding records reflect what a defensive player contributes: putouts, assists, and errors. A putout is when a fielder records an out by getting a batter or base runner out. An assist is credited when a fielder helps another teammate make an out. An error is charged when a mishandled play allows a batter or baserunner to reach safely or advance when they wouldn’t have. The option that lists putouts, assists, and errors captures these three components, matching the standard fielding stat line. The other options describe when a player simply enters the field or is substituted, or mention only a single type of putout, which don’t constitute the full fielding record.
